The Family Court Act and the New York Civil Procedure Law spell out exactly how a parent should be notified to appear in court. These are legally mandated rules that must be followed by anyone in the court system. Well, here is how ACS attempts to serve parents of a legal notice. Our clients found this under their door. The name of the client is wrong, it does not give any information about the case and is absolutely not acceptable as a form of legal service. This is yet another example of the dysfunction at ACS. This agency has the power to remove children and cannot even properly serve a parent. It is a disgrace. brooklynacslawyer.com

The Family Court Act is the New York Law that governs Family Courts in New York state. A simple reading of this law, will show you how much power family court judges have in the state. They, and only they, decide what happens to your children. With that understanding, ACS workers and lawyers have a keen understanding of each judge and will craft their case accordingly. In criminal and civil courts, the juries have the ultimate say. There is no reason why parents do not deserve juries in Family Court to judge them if they have neglected their child We recently had one ACS lawyer tell us that Family Court is not " punitive'. This is simply an outrageous remark. What could be more punitive than losing your child?  Family Court proceedings are hidden from the light of the public because no juries are allowed. Parents are abused by an A CS bureaucracy that is concerned only with its self-preservation. It is time for juries in Family Court ACS cases.
